Cheney kept secret resignation letter By: Tim Mak August 24, 2011 02:21 PM EDT
Dick Cheney kept a secret resignation letter locked away in a safe in case he were ever to be incapacitated, the former vice president reveals in his new book.
The letter, which Cheney signed in March of 2001, was written because of his health.
The possibility that I might have a heart attack or a stroke that would be incapacitating there is no mechanism for getting rid of a vice president who cant function, he told NBC in an interview that will air Monday as the book is published.
The letter was locked in a safe at all times the location was not disclosed in the interview and known only to a handful of people, including President George W. Bush.
Cheney did the interview as part of the promotion for his upcoming memoir, In My Time, which hits the shelvesAug. 30.
This book is gonna make a lot of people angry, said NBC interviewer Jamie Gangel.
Cheney responded, There are gonna be heads exploding all over Washington, Jamie.

Yeah, all that Biden is good for is his endless entertainment value with his gaffe-a-matic mouth...
Cheney is a good man.
Just in time for my Birthday!
Cheney responded, There are gonna be heads exploding all over Washington, Jamie.
That right there should make it a best seller within hours of being relesaed! lol Looking forward to reading it.
Biden is the best VP ever. He’s solid entertainment. You can hear the Democrat face palms in DC all the way down here.
That’s just the phrase that came to my mind. Good man.
We need one of those for Biden, in case he goes over the edge for good and requires a straitjacket.
Yea ... I called you a punk, punk!
T...there is no mechanism for getting rid of a vice president who cant function, Boy hasn’t that become obvious ;)
That statement right there will give him a huge bump in pre-orders on Amazon tonight...
I guess everyone has a right to market their creation.
LOL!
I miss him, too. Bret Baier did a nice interview with homover the weekend.
Cheney is a good man. Add to that honorable and responsible.
Given his health, he was thinking of the country over himself.
Not to be found in dc today.
I always thought Cheney would have made a most excellent President.
Just because it existed doesn’t make it valid.
If you haven’t ever read it you should read Matt Labash (in the Weekly Standard) “Fly Fishing with Dick Cheney”. Was a great piece.
Obama is sooooo rude....Touching everyone is a terrible habit....and very wrong.
That was nicely played
The look on the Honorable cheny’s face towards the vile POS 0dumbo is priceless
of course the letter of resignation was valid.
